Novikov Windows is a remarkable combination of hard science fiction, probing philosophy, ethical argument, and sheer adventure. If you're not already a fan of time travel, chances are you'll become one after you read this novel. If you are already a fan, this novel will go to the top of your list, and stay there as an accomplishment against which past and future time travel stories you may read will be judged.
With a mind-bending time-travel storyline that fans of this sci-fi theme will thoroughly enjoy, exquisite character development, page-turning suspense, and brilliant plot twists, I breezed through all 542 pages and loved every breathtaking moment. When you're sad that you've reached the end of a book, even one with a closure arc as fulfilling as this one, you know that the time you've taken to immerse yourself in the storyline has been a truly wise investment. As a bonus, the text was expertly proofread, and for the first time in many years, I did not find myself having to read a line over and over again just to try to figure out what was meant to be written. I cannot wait for the author's next novel.
Cosmain is a genius! He may have just written the best book I have ever read! Whilst this is at heart a science fiction novel about time travel - as it unravels itself - it has a bit of everything. Hard science fiction, philosophy, suspense, unpredictable plot twists, mind bending paradoxes, ethical dilemmas, relationships, romance, erotica, history - this book has everything. And its all beautifully written - exceptionally good use of language, clever use of metaphors, rich characters are featured throughout. It’s clear that scientific accuracy is important to Cosmain, and it is apparent that he has extensively researched it. However he also makes sure everything is explained in simple language, so that it is accessible to the layperson.
This book will have you hooked from beginning to end, and leave you wanting more!
